We will use this online space to guide our learning and capture our journey as we explore and learn about lucrative manufacturing careers that do not require a four-year degree. This wiki will help you conceptualize and experience what using math when working in a manufacturing field may be like. You will use your math skills to build, design, and problem solve using real-world challenges that are specific to manufacturing trades and occupations.
In addition to manufacturing math skill application for problem solving, you will also have the opportunity to visit local manufacturing facilities. You will have the opportunity to meet industry leaders and ask specific questions about careers in manufacturing. There will be workshops during the course that help you develop a resume designed to enter the manufacturing field. At least one workshop will focus on the 'soft skills' necessary to be successful in any field of employment.
Our wiki will hold selected class resources, assignments, important dates, and an online museum for our student-created learning artifacts. You will be required to access this wiki and add your files throughout the course. Be sure to follow the course syllabus. In this program, you will be required to actively participate in the conceptualized learning process. what is conceptualized learning? Conceptualized learning provides opportunities to use your academic knowledge and skills to build competencies (skills) that are used in trades and technical professions. These competencies will include learning to use a:
- ruler
- protractor
- compass
- caliper
- Vernier caliper
- micrometer
Math is part of our everyday life. We use math at school, at home, at work, and at play. Sometimes, learning can seem pointless unless it is contextualized in a way that shows how the information is used in real life. Many jobs now require prospective employees to demonstrate math proficiency for problem solving. This is especially true for jobs that require measurement, assembly, construction, design, or material processing.
